Italy 2005 Diary

Watch this site for the daily diary of a wandering restaurateur in Italy.

The daily diary often gets posted in a rather abbreviated format just due to time pressures. As other thoughts occur, I will frequently update previously posted pages. (Must be the author in me.) Sometimes, I will even go back and add photos. All this is just to say that if you find the running commentary interesting, you might want to re-check some of the past days' write-ups for additions. Understand, too, that finding Internet connections in the backwoods of Europe can be sporadic at best, so while the diary may be written every day, I am rarely able to upload it every day. Have patience.
